That’s what happened at an outlet of Japanese electronics retail chain Yodobashi Camera in Kyoto recently, as the music section of the store came to life with the sound of not one, but two pianos being played in glorious unison. According to Twitter user @Romakome1029, who captured the moment on video, a middle-aged man was playing the theme song to the 80s British-Japan film Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence on a piano when another man suddenly decided to join in on a different piano, playing a heartfelt melody over the top of the main chords.

Since @Romakome1029 posted the video online, it’s received over 140,000 likes, with people commenting on the beauty of the performance. The power of music to cross language barriers and bring people together truly is a beautiful thing.
